Stellar Object 568-II, an asteroid in the middle of empty space, a hunk of rock somewhere on the route between Earth and Porox-IV, presumably made up of a few different types of rock, some coal, maybe iron, maybe silicon, and probably a bunch of other unexciting minerals. Nothing to write home about, really. Well, somehow you convinced MinCorp to send you down anyways. We dont know whats down there, you said. Could be unexpected wealths of minerals, maybe wholly new ones, who knows, space is weird like that. Noone will find out if we dont go down there.And so you got dropped off from a passing freighter of the Corporation, with a crew of four(including you) in a short ranged shuttle outfitted with life support systems for a semi self sustaining small outpost on some inhospitable rock, like 568-II is. A name that doesnt roll well off the tongue, you realize. >You'll give it a better one. Now you'll have to build up your station (the purpose of which you still havent quite decided on - research or mining, production or export, or maybe just make it a self sustained colony, a little garden eden on barren wastelands or a military space station, a harbor for mercinaries? You will see.) up on the asteroid, deciding on what to spend your limited rescourses and how to develop it.But all in due time. First of all, lets decide where to land your shuttle, which will be the humble beginning and first building of what is going to develope here.So... >Where do you want to go down at?
>Where do you want to go down at?The highest, flat stable ground
Rolled 2>>29726383Fire the retrothrusters! land in the valley next to the highest peak.
Rolled 90>>29726417Also, let's name this place Chiron
>>29726450Sure let's go for Chiron
If it contains coal, it's pretty interesting.
>>29726450seconding
Rolled 96>>29726484because we are all going to die here, I just know it
>>29726506Well you better work against that then
>>29726417>>29726450>>29726463You decide to name the asteroid Chiron, if for no symbolic character, then just because it rolls off the tongue well.Day: 1>Recourses: 20>Crew: 4 (2 Engineers, 1 Mineralogist, 1 Expedition leader)>Rations:16 (max pop: 4) In daring fashion you bring the modified shuttle down on the valley next to the highest peak, and let down the ladder to the rocky surface, on which the craft is already attaching itself with hydraulic legs, the life support systems hitting into full gear. The instruments are telling you what you already know about Chiron: atmosphere practically nonexistence, gravity minimal, although freakishly high for a celestial body of this size. With you two containers worth of building material have come down to the asteroid, as well as a motorized drilling vehicle. The base camp, that is the shuttle can produce oxygen effectively for four months, you have rations for only one, but theoretically more food should be coming in before that. Your number one priority now should be expanding your camp with the first building, which naturally will be...Yeah, right, what WILL it be? What building do you wanna cosntruct? Or do you start digging into the asteroid right off the bat?
>>29726545oh, and disclaimer: you might wanna use zoom a lot. Also, why is that formating so weird?
>>29726545Lookout tower on the highest mountain
Rolled 20>>29726545I suggest we establish our communications center/power station on the peak. Get solar power and make sure we can call in rescue if the worst happens.
>>29726585Maybe first a little bit of digging, make room for new buildings.
>>29726545I will go after popular vote most of the time, except if something sounds really cool to draw. There will be some rolls involved later on, so dont worry, it wont be just me drawing a few pixels
>>29726585>>29726610>>29726620All of these.Set up the foundation on the highest point, for the construction of a lookout tower which will dual as a communications relay.
>>29726545Looks like we don't have very much to eat. How about we start with building a farm. What are our options concerning water recycling and UV rays?
>>29726653This
>>29726653This>>29726670Virtually nonexistent atmosphere. Until we get some habitation modules set up, I think we're gonna be surviving on dehydrated food.>Asteroid mining quest yesss!
Rolled 95>>29726670So an aeroponic facility? supplement food supplies as well as air recycling?
Rolled 12>>29726705shit, just realized, we probably used a container to build our communication array...so we should consider creating a refinery first to create more building supplies
>>29726705This guy knows what I'm talking about.>>29726696I was more thinking of an enclosed facility. Making an entire planet habitable would burn through our resources in no time.>>29726731Aaaand mostly this as well.
>>29726731This ought to be a priority, after food of course. Buildings can wait, starvation doesn't
>>29726753Also, asphyxiation doesn't wait either.Yeah, we need that aeroponics farm asap.
>>29726753Seconded. Survival comes before Profit.
Rolled 40>>29726792No, ??? comes before profit
>>29726705This.What do you guys want the outpost to grow into?I kinda like the idea of autonomous colony.
>>29726802Hahaha, right, I forgot
>>29726731Well, if we have a communications array, we could always pester Mincorp for food and suplies if we get into trouble. Of course, we better find something on the astroid that will convince them to actually send it.
>>29726751>Enclosed facilityWell, yeah, that's what I meant by habitation modules. Little hermetically sealed, pressurized structures.
Rolled 18>>29726816Even if we don't find anything, I'd suggest lying to them to get more supplies anyway
>>29726545Alright, alright. Enough talk. Give us some sweet sweet farming spaces OP.
>>29726857Alright, so priorities are1. Farming for air (possibly food)2. Com's relay and lookout point3. Mining Operationsobjections?
Rolled 25>>29726857odds are we won't be able to completely go autonomous yet, but we'll be able to stretch our supplies.>>29726875no
>>29726875Nope, let's roll!
>>29726875I personally would say comms goes first, but other than that, that's pretty much good.
>>29726653>>29726610>>29726585Day: 1>Recourses: 18>Crew: 4 (2 Engineers, 1 Mineralogist, 1 Expedition leader)>Rations:15 (max pop: 4) You decide that communication is key! So your engineers Sally and Herbert quickly start building up the tower on the mountain next to you (which is not yet named by the way)The construction is going smoothly, but why dont you give me a roll 1d100 as to how well it is going really?Meanwhile Lev, your Miner is sitting idly in his cabin and is reading lude magazines.by the by, rations work 1 ration for 1 person in 1 week.I derped and didnt put the containers in. Sorry guys
>>29726888>>29726889I thought communications was a pretty fixed thing at the beginning...
>>29726900Lev, you lazy asshole! Suit up and start prospecting and stop hogging the nudie mags>I assume we have prospecting equipment
Rolled 40>>29726900
Rolled 100>>29726900
Rolled 15>>29726900It is going:
>>29726950WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT>>29726951
Rolled 86>>29726900I roll for construction.We need food/air productionwe can run aeroponics since I doubt we have soil
>>29726951Sweet.
>>29726950>>29726951>>29726967Best 2 out of three?
an asteroid with coal?!well, we're about to be rich, because we've just discovered evidence of plant life on another planetary body in the past.(score a F- in geology, OP)
I'm going to take the best roll out of the first three
Rolled 71>>29727008coal is just a significant amount of less than super compressed carbon isn't it?
Rolled 31>>29727008What is a C-Type Asteroid?http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:AllendeMeteorite.jpg
>>29727008>Implying that's a major discoveryJust another dead alien world among loads of aliens planets.
>>29727043Well, then, you guys are all welcome. I shall await my praise. Please shower me with fine wenches and gold.
>>29727105Addendum: Holy shit 7.78MB? What the dick
Rolled 81>>29727105Rolling for wenches
>>29726951Day: 5>Recourses: 16>Crew: 4 (2 Engineers, 1 Mineralogist, 1 Expedition leader)>Rations:15 (max pop: 4) The Building goes extremely swiftly, thanks to Sally.You also almost manage to connect the Tower with the Shuttle.Meanwhile Lev got off his lazy ass and started prospecting parts of the Asteroid.whats the next thing gonna be?
Rolled 37>>29727217Rolling for Aeroponics facility, to extend our food supplies by growing it, and our air supply by recycling it.
>>29727217>>29727273Right, I think aeroponics is our next best bet.
>>29727217Aeroponics of couse
Rolled 27>>29727295also have the mineralogist get off his ass and start exploratory drilling
Rolled 84>>29727273>>29727293>>29727295>>29727217Do we roll yet?
>>29727273>>29727293>>29727295I say we put it under the tower. That way we can have one pressurized structure.
>>29727314Hmm, true.Also, how is the gravity of the asteroid? Are our buildings theoretically more resistant to cave ins or collapses than on earth?
Rolled 6 + 80>>29727349I'd assume it would be less gravity since it's an asteroid probably .27 m/s^2 or less (ceres is the largest asteroid we know of)Earth 9.78 m/s^2Moon 1.622 m/s^2
Rolled 5 + 80Don't mind me just testing things.
>>29727217Also, may I ask, does our shuttle have the means to make a quick emergency escape off the asteroid if we find something that might prove ... hostile? if the gravity is higher than normal, something has to be responsible for that
Day: 7>Recourses: 12>Crew: 4 (2 Engineers, 1 Mineralogist, 1 Expedition leader)>Rations:15 (max pop: 4)You begin construction on the aeroponics-facility.Could somebody give me a roll for that?You also decide that it is a good plan to have on big pressurised Structure, Sallly manages to connect the Structures with pressurised corridors.Also you receive your first communication! Mincorp lets you know that the first shipment will be arriving in three weeks. >If you need anything special, you should tell them asap!Also Lev is getting some work done.
>>29727446>>29727349>gravity minimal, although freakishly high for an asteroid of this sizeIn other words, it's strong enough to keep things from just floating off, but weak enough that we don't have to worry about weight when building.
>>29727498or you might... MIGHT wanna build an emergency shuttle. Because guess what? yours is one way only, baby.
>>29727506>>29727524THEN WE BUILD AN EMERGENCY SHUTTLERIGHT FUCKING NOW
Rolled 21>>29727506Rolling for aeroponicsinb4 single digit
Rolled 12>>29727536Implying the flesh would have a higher density than metals.>>29727506Rolling
Rolled 99>>29727506Maybe we could ask for some core-sampling equipment? Get some boreholes down, see what's below us, y'know?
Rolled 94>>29727506Aeroponics Roll
Rolled 83>>29727524All future resources go towards building an escape shuttle.Pre-emptively rolling for said shuttle.
Rolled 92>>29727446Rolling for building the Aeroponics facilityAlso with the gravity as weak as it is, we could probably just use a ramp to reach escape velocity.... I suggest we build a mass driver to launch any minerals (or an escape pod), towards the nearest established colony.KEEP DIGGING GODDAMN IT.
>>29727564100, then 99? This is just a streak, I know it. The dice gods will come back to smite me, I'm sure.
Just remember guysDon't dig too greedily, and too deep.
Rolled 85>>29727593cause you get stuck
>>29727593That's why we should get core sampling equipment, so we know exactly how deep to dig!
>>29727506>>Rations:15 (max pop: 4)>>>If you need anything special, you should tell them asap!We should increase the population capacity and ask for more people. I'm sure we can expand enough for like 4-6 more people in 3 weeks time.
Rolled 48>>29727639we need a botanist, and another engineer then
>>29727665Some medical personal too, maybe?Just in case?
Rolled 33>>29727695okMINCON STATION, CURRENTLY REQUESTING THE FOLLOWING PERSONELL ALONG WITH LIVING RATIONS.MEDIC 68WBOTANIST 72BSENGINEER 42EOVER.
>>29727739Hey, hey, can we get some core sampling equipment too? It'll help us at least get an idea of WHERE to dig.
Rolled 17>>29727765we dig down.
>>29727765Yes, perhaps some sort of sonic location device to determine dense materials and pockets within the asteroid.
>>29727794Ooh, yeah, this too.
>>29727739don't forget that we will need to focus on expanding our population capacity. Also build hydroponics, we need to become as autonomous as possible as soon as possible.Just in case we should order extra rations too.
Do we have a landing pad for recieving and sending shuttles? We should set one up.
Rolled 57>>29727830we don't have nearly enough gravity to have that be an issue, you could jump straight up and it would take you about 4 minutes to come back down.
Day: 11>Recourses: 12>Crew: 4 (2 Engineers, 1 Mineralogist, 1 Expedition leader)>Rations:12 (max pop: 4)>>29727564Sally again makes excellent progress, Herbert was also at the building site. It soon will be completed.You soon have an awesome facility, but you have nowhere near enough water to actually run the facility without using up all your water supply. This frantic drawing is quite stressing to say the least, it takes a while, hope you like it though>>29727739You get a few acknowledging words from MinCorp, but you have no idea if the board really will approve of your request.Also You seriously consider building a spaceshuttle next, or… ?>suggestions required
Rolled 56>>29727830plus it would probably use a drop pod to deliver goods and personell, which could double as a basic barracks facility if we wanted?
>>29727851Shuttles need flat patches of ground to land on and deliver cargo easily.
>>29727873herpderpderpderp forgot the picture>>29727851only that thats not true in this case. Either there is something sinister going on here or physics is less important than fun.
>>29727899Could you zoom in on the facility a bit? I can't tell what's going on inside.
>>29727873iirc, pretty much every asteroid out there has an ample amount of water. We could make a waterplant.>suggestions requiredExpand population capacity by 3.
Rolled 62>>29727873Let's build that escape shuttle.
>>29727935which part do you want to have zoomed?
Rolled 97>>29727884I propose the mass driver (rolling for success of building it)Basically a magnetic acellerator to launch minerals and receive them. This could be used to launch an escape pod, or to recieve an incoming shuttle
>>29727899>picMan, that's pretty cool.I'd play if this was a vidya
Rolled 23>>29727957Let's look for water. We'll be autonomous in no time.Also:>>29727961Go for shuttle
>>29727962The central one, with the habitats.
Rolled 83>>29727994we could also do electrolysis to pull out extra oxygen for breathing and hydrogen for fuel
>>29728000i dont know how 4chan crops shit, so maybe this works this way, or maybe it doesnt.
>>29728037I meant as in, increase the resolution. I don't mind if it's pixellated, I just want to be able to see better.
>>29727961>>29727964>>29727994Mass drive would need a lot of special parts from Mincorp, thats something you will have to wait on a bit.Escape shuttle, similar deal, you can make a hangar, but youll have to get the Shuttle somehow else.Hydrolysis? Thats doable. If it gets support, Ill do it.
>>29728068I say we requisition parts for either a shittle or driver from Mincorp
Rolled 87>>29728068I support the water project
>>29728068*electrolysis>>297280464chan fucks with the res. I cant really do much about that. I did a screenshot, maybe that helps.
>>29728037>i dont know how 4chan crops shitafaik 4chan doesn't crop, there is just a max resolution and size limit.What the other poster meant is to make the buildings closer/bigger so that we can more clearly see them.
>>29728088shuttle* lolololololol
>>29728096Thanks, dude.Also supporting electrolysis.
>>29728105>>29728088>shittle>>29728068yeah, lets get some water, I mean if there is any on this rock. Hopefully there is
Rolled 94>>29728096if you right click the image after full sizing it and open/view in new tab it'll show full rez
>>29728088I say go for shuttle. It'll be easier for exploration and transportation.
Rolled 70>>29728138we could do a shittle, or we could build the equivalent of a giant rail gun just for transport.
Rolled 63>>29728113>>29728035Electrolysis-facility it is.Where do you want to put it?
>>29728138For exploration, I say we could get a few satellites/drones up in the sky to start mapping the entire planetoid.
>>29728182Close to Hydroponics, but in a self-contained structure that can withstand an explosion if shit goes wrong with the hydrogen.
Rolled 36>>29728127or ctrl Plus keyCTRL minus key
>>29728171>Just for transportThat's the thing though. That's like taking a hang glider over a helicopter. A shuttle can be used for several things.
>>29728183And if we find something of interest, are you going to walk there? No, you're going to take the shuttle I'm suggesting.
Rolled 15>>29728321we can launch rocks for defensive measures
>>29728340The shuttle is a long-term project. The drones are cheap, easy and buildable right now, no requisitions required.
Day: 15>Recourses: 10>Crew: 4 (2 Engineers, 1 Mineralogist, 1 Expedition leader)>Rations: 8 (max pop: 4)Lev seems to have struck a small cavern in his endeavour to find some ice on this rock.You have started constructing an Electrolysis-facility, (for which you should roll now (and I will only take the best of the first two rolls from now on)). Building site is, as by the expedition leader declared, near the Hydroponics-Facility but you cunningly leave some layers of rock from the asteroid between them, if things should go south…Also you have put up a Solar-Panel (The starlight is very dense here, don’t question it) to stop using the Ships reserves.
>>29728340I'd recommend we get ourselves a rover. Cheaper to operate than anything airborne, also safer
>>29728321Do we absolutely need it right now?We should set up our priorities. I thinking expanding the base and getting autonomous is more important.
>>29728345Or just call in some weapons and not have to worry about building a railgun. Don't get me wrong, I like your idea, but it can be done later, when we have less things to worry about.
Rolled 3>>29728377rolling for electrolysis
>>29728345SO DO YOU WANT TO BUILD ROCKET DEFENSES? IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING?I CAN BUILD YOU ROCKET DEFENSES!erm... got carried away there.
Rolled 7>>29728399rolling for better electrolysis
Rolled 27>>29728389I strongly agree>>29728395And I agree as well
>>29728399>>29728414>rocks fall>everybody dies
About defences, do we have any small arms? Or could some hypothetical pirates just waltz in and fuck up our shit without any resistance?
>>29728389I see your point. We should focus on getting food and water incoming for the other 3 people we have coming in.
>>29728437I don't think we do. I suggest we call some in on the next shipment.
>>29727977It would be Dorf Fort IN SPACE!, wouldn't it... I'd play the shit out of it.
Day: 20>Recourses: 8>Crew: 4 (2 Engineers, 1 Mineralogist, 1 Expedition leader)>Rations: 8 (max pop: 4)Herbert started to build the electrolysis-facility. You can easily spot his progress… or more the lack thereof. It will take time to repair and clean up his mess. You also lose two recourses.Sally facepalms dissapointed>>29728437You would pretty much be fucked if pirates came at this Moment. (But I could build you defences *wink*)
>>29728548also, Lev waits for further instructions. He doesnt want to fall down the hole, to be honest.
>>29728377>Lev seems to have struck a small cavern in his endeavour to find some ice on this rock.Forgotten Beasts when? Now!Lets get Lev to dig sideways a bit. Look for more resources.
>>29728548What about supplies? We'll need ammo if we're going to put up defenses.
>>29728527>>29728548Hmm.. well I recommend we bring in a security specialist once the situation permits it, together with some rifles/sidearms in case shit hits the fan.
Rolled 22>>29728583Sideways?Just get a fucking crane in there or something. and let him down further. We surely have a crane somewhere
Rolled 40>>29728593Tell lev to throw a light down there.REBUILD THE ELECTROLYSIS (rolling for this)
Rolled 10>>29728583I'mma do rollan for that, too.
Rolled 48>>29728548Let's build some defenses then. Nothing too flashy, just something to make sure we're not caught with our pants down.
Rolled 47>>29728604Seconded. Lets get a badass soldier in, and some flamethrowers and sidearms
>>29728548lev: stabilize mining rig and get a safety harness down to explore the cavern. Maybe with a backup team member in case things go south.
>>29728604We need to think about weapons. We are in space after all, and I would assume a lack of oxygen, so explosions aren't as effective and therefor a bullet from a conventional gun won't do so well I think. But I do agree with the security specialist, and the situation permits it fairly soon.
>>29728437>>29728527>>29728539This reminded me of a game which you can play right now called Rimworld.It is in early alpha stage please don't fund alphas just pirate it
>>29728646Let's not explore an alien cave until we have weapons, yes?
>>29726362>asteroid>coalWHAT?
>>29728635With the lack of any profit bearing activities I doubt we'd get more than a narcoleptic lard-ass security guard. And flamethrowers in enclosed enviroments or space will not end well.>>29728674Oh yeah, I funded that. Been waiting for an update for quite a while now. Has a lot of potential though.
>>29728690I assume all the personnel have sidearms. Or at least mining tools that can be used as a weapon.
>>29728720>Implying we don't want the fury as the head of securityTopest of lels
>>29728660I stand corrected on this. Modern ammunition has its own oxidizer, so guns can fire in space. Let's call in at least some handguns, hopefully some rifles. And cleaning kits for them, let's keep these weapons functional.
>>29728604>>29728635All personnel should get weapons and some self-defence training at one point
>>29728728I have an image in my head of our miners drilling pirate invaders to death.>>29728774Our personnel could probably use some combat training. Untrained personnel firing guns in a space base is a recipe for disaster.
>>29728788Why are they even on a hazardous space exploration mission if they don't have self-defense training?And do we actually have guns for the crew? An inventory of what we've got in stock in terms of tools, guns and general equipment would be good.
>>29728720>Oh yeah, I funded that. Been waiting for an update for quite a while now. Has a lot of potential though.It does but early backed games seem to get perpetually stuck in half-finished alpha stages so I never fund these projects no matter how great they seem.Played the cracked version for a while, it was great till the content ran dry. I will probably buy it once it comes out.
Ok, so we want to continue the construction.Get a security specialist down here to give us some combat training.leave that damn hole alone until we get some weapons. Yes?
Would it be possible for us to get a contract with some defence contractors/mercenaries in the area? Or are we too far away from everything for that to be viable. If possible I think that would be most cost-effective defence solution for now. We should also get an on site security specialist and some firearms of course.
>>29728942That sums it up nicely.
>>29728945>Would it be possible for us to get a contract with some defence contractors/mercenaries in the area?Once we get money, maybe.
Day: 25>Recourses: 5>Crew: 4 (2 Engineers, 1 Mineralogist, 1 Expedition leader)>Rations: 4 (max pop: 4)The Shipment is due in three days.Sally completed the repairs and finished works on the Electrolysis-Station. Good on you Sally.Lev set up a crane with Herbert (Herbert insisted on helping.. it took some time) in the meantime. Scared out of his pants Lev gets lifted down slowly into the dark abyss… >>29728728They can make things like flamethrowers, sidearms or swords if you want to, but it will take time and recourses.>>29728827You have all the work and mining tools you need for now. You don’t have any weapons though, and you are not trained in combat… why would you be? On a uninhabited asteroid… what is the worst that could happen? Right guys?.... Right?(Also you have some kind of recourses that will not be elaborated upon)
>>29729051Hmm, maybe we could look for any supplies out in space? Like ammo, weapons, or money?
>>29729051Unidentified vessel, please identify yourself.
Rolled 82>>29729051love the little ship. I suggest we set up a way to seal the tunnel expeditiously and explosively Just in case
>>29729093I'm assuming that's our shipment.
>>29729051>>Rations: 4 (max pop: 4)We're running out of food to eat and soon we might have more people. Seriously, lets focus on food production and increasing pop limit.
Rolled 93>>29729092Yeah, with our awesome shuttle... oh wait... right
>>29729121Seemed a bit close for being three days out, but I guess it's much bigger up close.
OP, this hasn't been inspired by the space horror thread has it?Please tell me it has.
>>29729051Damnit Lev, get out of that hole, you don't know what's down there! Do we at least have things like pipes we can use to bludgeon or impale in our defence?
Rolled 82>>29729124this is why we needed a botanist.MINSHUTTLE THIS IS CHIRONCONMANIFEST REQUESTED OVER.
>>29729124Seconded. Let's set up hydroponics and electrolysis.
Why wouldn't we send a droid down first to investigate?
>>29729124Maybe we could make some form of waste recycling facility to stop our stores to from draining as fast?
Rolled 87>>29729170we don't serve their kind here
>>29729051Then let's make standard issue sidearms, something easy to take care off.Also we need food, bad
>>29729170Yeah, or something like those mapping hoverballs from Prometheus.
>>29729187
>>29729183Recycling water seems smart at least
Rolled 94>>29729203
>>29729189What about finding some extra piping that we don't need, and hammering down the ends into a point for spears? If we can hammer them down flat enough, we can make swords/machetes too. And that doesn't require any skill.
>>29729269Well, that's a decent solution for now, but in the long run we will need trained crew members, might as well make sure the starting group can defend itself.
>>29729309Right, I'm only suggesting it temporarily because everyone knows how to use a spear, it's primitive but effective. Same with machetes. I agree with the training.

Day: 28>Recourses: 5>Crew: 4 (2 Engineers, 1 Mineralogist, 1 Expedition leader)>Rations: 0 (max pop: 4)The Freighter “Red Walrus” from MinCorp is taking a small stop at Chiron, as announced.The Captains scruff voice greets you on the intercom and tells you they have the resources the Board of MinCorp has assigned to you.On the freighter there are a few disposable employees from MinCorp as well as one bearded mercenary in full combat gear who hitchhikes on the freighter.Your station supports two new people (or so you tell the captain - food is still a bit low, you only get enough rations for 4 again.) You have the choice between:>Mercinary Archibald Gruff (Soldier)>Dr. Martha Clay (Botanist)>Ben Gann (Engineer)>Dr.Med. Owen Hunt (Doctor)Also special gear is available on the freighterThere are:>A gunturret>Shuttle parts>A crate of weapons>a welding torch of huge proportions>A ground transporting Vehicle>Or do you want to inquire if there is other stuff for you?>>29729183In the last three days you have started production of your waste disposal unit. (Roll for that please)
Rolled 37>>29729476it doesn't any more...>>29729484botanist, get those food supplies running and producing at max capacitySoldierrolling for waste.
Rolled 61>>29729484Rolling
>>29729484>inquire about other stuffIs there robot drones for manual labor?
Rolled 72>>29729484I say we take the mercenary and the botanist.
>>29729484I suggest taking the crate of weapons, considering we need to defend ourselves.
>>29729527If we're taking the soldier, lets grab that crate of weapons. He can teach us how to use them and we can resume digging for resources.
Rolled 63>>29729527>>29729536I support mercenary and Botanist
>>29729484lets take the botanist, soldier and the gunturret
>>29729575A crate of weapons arms more than a single gunturret.
Rolled 14>>29729557I think the Merc might be sufficient.Lets take the shuttle parts.
Rolled 99We are now hot bunking. People work in shifts now.That botanist should help stretch our food supplies so that we actually can support our population
Rolled 75>>29729484Rolling for wasteSoldier and botanistShuttle parts
>>29729605>We are now hot bunking. People work in shifts now.I assume pop limit is not just the amount of beds but how also the life-support (like air) and other accommodations. And lets not forget the food and water. Honestly we should have focused on this first and done the rest.
Rolled 7>>29729640>>29729605>>29729575>>29729561>>29729536>>29729527So we are taking the Merc and the Botanist.What for the special parts.I need you votes people:
>>29729670What are the rules for selecting equipment? Can we choose one? Can we choose as much as we can cram in? It's kind of unclear (or I suck at reading)
Rolled 18>>29729658we did, we made the aeroponics facility, provides air and food. Also electrolysis can be used for recycling water. The botanist should allow us to up our output.
>>29729670Would the turret be able to change the course of small asteroids heading towards us? If so, I'd vote for that.
>>29729716We should make a bit more than we consume, ideally. Also, I'm pretty sure we are not getting food out of them yet, if we did, our rations would not be at 0 right now.
>>29729702You may take one set of the special parts, sorry if it was not clear enough.
>>29729670I'm partial to the crate of weapons, but I suppose the shuttle parts are just as good.
>>29729737Depends on the size, but the smaller ones: Yes.
Rolled 36>>29729670I'd say the shuttleparts as well
>>29729790But there's a risk they'll just split up into smaller pieces and fuck us up even more isn't there?I'll vote for the shuttle parts, and if possible ask if we can get some explosives too.
Rolled 38>>29729825posting random phrase to make this thread searchable once archived...polly wants an asteroid cracker now now now
>>29729640>>29729825>>29729752>>29729547>>29729557So either the shuttleparts or the crate of weapons, what do you want more? Else I roll
>>29729887Explosives if possible, seems like a reasonable request for a mining outpost.
>>29729887weapons
>>29729887Crate o' weapons.
>>29729887The majority is for shuttle parts, so lets go with those.
>>29729887Robot drones.
>>29729926>>29729923>>29729918Or weapons! That works too.
>>29729933Robot drones, can we ask to see if they have any? Could make exploring less dangerous.
OP, is this like a Quest/Civ thing? Will you be doing more of them?If so, will you archive them? Would be nice to read missed threads. (don't say foolz please, I know it exists)
>>29729960Exploring, and also for manual labor projects like building.
>>29729967somebody else would have to archive them. and foolzBut yes, this is a bit like a quest/civ, and I will try to do those as much as possibles.
>>29729996So.....When do we get struck by Space Cabin Fever
Rolled 53>>29729996Who the fuck is Possibles?
>>29729944Alright lets get this moving! We go with the weapons!
Day: 29>Recourses: 22>Crew: 4 (2 Engineers, 1 Mineralogist, 1 Expedition leader, 1 Mercenary, 1 Botanist)>Rations: 20 (max pop: 5)The Freighter delivers its goods, along with the new staff. (They will need a place to sleep)Archibald, in his Battlesuit at least two heads taller than you extends a heavily armoured hand to you. His Breath reeks of alcohol. “Pleasure to make your acquaintance!” Behind him is a timid Woman with big glasses, her Space-suit is too big for her. You point her in the direction of your Hydroponics – Facility.In the meantime, Lev has hit ground again, although he will need a new set of Space-Pants.You received:>A number of some kind of recourses >Food for 5 people four 4 weeks (The Captain seemed generous) (It will last for three weeks though, good luck)>A Crate of Weapons>Two new people
>>29729996>somebody else would have to archive themSometimes people forget and then you have missed threads.If you are actually planning to make this a long-running thing (10+ threads) I advise archiving it.Foolz has its uses but one of the downsides is that it will delete images after a while. So in future people wont be able to lead them.
>>29730042Now, lets go train on the crew members so they know how to defend themselves.
>>29730042Crew is 6, by the way, not 4.Also: what do next?>>29730045well shit, then people should better not forget!
>>29730042Right. Let's get the botanist working on stabilizing food production, and let's get the merc to exploring the cavern with Lev.
>>29730077Seconded. And after that let's send Archibald down with Lev.
Rolled 68>>29730042Grow something edible ANYTHING EDIBLE
>>29730077no, there are far more immediate concerns than a possible attackWe need to have stable rations production and place for people to sleep.I say we build few rooms for people first then work on food and water
We grow potatoes.Lot's of potatoes.
Rolled 24>>29730185Second
>>29730185Ok ok.Build rooms for people.Work on food and water.Train for defense.Then send Archibald down with Lev.
>>29726362there ain't no coal on asteroids
>>29730265You saying that Dinosaurs never traveled the stars?
>>29730288im saying that ancient forests were never on asteroids then, buried and subjected to extreme pressure for millions of years.
>>29730327What if it's a chunk of a planet that once harboured life.
>>29730364>onceI don't know about you anon, but this asteroid gives me some funny feelings.
>>29730217This. Save for a few vitamins, potatoes contain almost all necessary nutrients.Also you can prepare them in like a bazillion ways. Mash 'em, fry 'em, roast 'em, and boil 'em! Make potato cakes, hashbrowns, grilled 'tater skins! Slice 'em thin and make chips! You can have scalloped potatoes, potatoes au gratin, the list goes on and on...I like potatoes, does it show?
Rolled 32>>29730364What if its a chuck of planet that still harbours life...coal Honedp
>>29730391Me too anon, me too. But maybe we're just being paranoid.>>29730400Potatoes are the best thing to ever happen to humanity
Day: 33>Recourses: 18>Crew: 6 (2 Engineers, 1 Mineralogist, 1 Expedition leader, 1 Mercenary, 1 Botanist)>Rations: 20 (max pop: 5)The freighter departs but schedules a visit again next month, although the Captain advises you to be able to present some progress then, or there will be a reaction from The Board of MinCorp.As you further look into the goods you just received, you stumble upon a strange, grey, crate that you have no memory requesting.Your Botanist manages to grow some rudimentary fruits and edible vegetables, but without a steady supply of water, it will not increase in size. Also the water-reserves you had left are almost used up. Anyhow you gain +1 Ration each week.Meanwhile you Waste-Disposal-Unit completes and you start building living-quarters. For the Weapons-Crate a high security storage room is constructed for no cost.Archibald decided to help explore the cave with his new colleague because there was no room for him to train.>>29730265http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-type_asteroid
>>29730536also, roll for the sleeping departments
Rolled 84>>29730536How's our electrolysis facility going? We need to put more hours into it.
Rolled 49>>29730600Rolling for sleeping departments
Rolled 53>>29730600Rolling.
Rolled 26>>29730536we need water recycling stat.that or a new source of water.I'd suggest we start running the waste tanks through filtration
Rolled 31>>29730649Seconded, also lets get lev and Archibald looking for some trouble... I mean ice.
Rolled 18>>29730670ice, ice monsters we can kill and melt....or milk possibly?
>>29730649thiswe need water>>29730536>Captain advises you to be able to present some progress then, or there will be a reaction from The Board of MinCorp.What are they expecting anyway?
Guys, it has been an incredible pleasure, but I will only stay about half an hour.I definitely plan on running it again (This very base), if somebody wants to archive the Thread, feel free to do it now.
Rolled 49>>29730714Progress
Rolled 49>>29730536Just realised. Guys. What is with that crate?Is it a present? I bet it is a present, OP is good to us.
Rolled 44>>29730714>What are they expecting anyway?Unreasonable profit. As usual.>>29730724This has been great. How do you make the images you post? I must admit I really do like them.>>29730784Probably salt.
>>29730724Got a twitter for updates?
Rolled 65>>29730811>>29730714Indeed, I think they want coal mining or a production site... they are called MinCorp...
>>29730714They dumped us here on the asteroid for a prospecting mission. If all we find is jack and shit, we can just pack up and go to another asteroid.
>>29730828not enoug dedication, i fear>>29730811I make the images with a lot of pixels in paint.NET
>>29730784It's T-1000
Rolled 100>>29730871I use that for making art for a game I'm collaborating one. 3rd person space trading game
>>29730042>this far in the future>glasses
Rolled 49>>29730961It's actually 1748, glasses are very advanced.
>>29730961Maybe it's a fashion statement.Maybe laser surgery hasn't become that affordable after all.Maybe low-level mining base grunts are underpaid.Maybe she refused to get surgery.
>>29730871Wait, do you draw them in real time or do you copy-paste them from a pre-made folder ?

>>29731296Day: 35>Recourses: 12>Crew: 6 (2 Engineers, 1 Mineralogist, 1 Expedition leader, 1 Mercenary, 1 Botanist)>Rations: 20 (max pop: 5)You finish the filtration system (resources -3), it allows you to keep going without suffering from dehydration all too soon. (Maybe I’ll include a water-supply and consume system the next time)For now you are just happy that you don’t die from thirst. Although this new Water filtration System is in addition to the hydroponicsfacility using up more energy than the small solar panel can handle. You will have to switch off one of those (or some energy consuming thing) in the next week, or create more energy. Otherwise you will face a base-wide energy failure.Also you finished the new quarters. They are looking good. (Resources -2)Lev and Archibald found the entrance to a deeper cave.was a blast guys, but i am very exhausted. till next time.
>>29730890thats cool as balls. Where can I find that?
>>29731369This was enjoyable. The base is looking to be great.
Just so you know, OP, this is a good thread and you should feel goodI scribbled the new guys
>>29731006maybe it's just moe as fuck and OP has good tastes
>>29731817Holy shit, we got a British Tychus! I love the art, dude, keep it up.
